Hi,

I've just built my very first gentoo stage 1 (and proud of it), so I'm
pretty much a newbie here. I'm used to rpm-distros, and I'm very pleased
with the emerge-command

After bootstrapping and kernel compiling, i did 'emerge gnome'.
Everything went great and gnome 2.6 seems to be installed on my system.
I'm quite ashamed for my question, but:

What should i do now?

I want to get into gnome, but I don't know how. Since I don't know
Gentoo too well and I don't want to screw the system after one day
(since it took me 2 days building it)

, I'd hope someone would want
to show me the light (and eventually gnome)

Thanks a lot.

Kristof enlightened us with:
> What should i do now?

put this into your ~/.xinitrc

---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
source ~/.bash_profile
exec gnome-session
---------------------------------------------------------------------

and chmod +x ~/.xinitrc

> I want to get into gnome, but I don't know how.

Do the above, and then type 'startx'.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

In alt.os.linux.gentoo, Kristof uttered these immortal words:

That's what the docs are for. :-)
